Holi is colour, chaos and connection- but it is also pause. Between gulaal-splashed mornings and indulgent festive lunches, the long weekend offers the perfect window to retreat indoors and surrender to stories as layered and unpredictable as the festival itself.
From psychological thrillers and crime investigations to epic monster sagas and swoon-worthy romance, this week’s OTT slate delivers across genres. Here is your definitive Holi watchlist-fresh releases and new seasons timed perfectly for a celebratory binge.
Secret Stories: Roslin (JioHotstar)
Nightmares that refuse to stay in dreams
This Malayalam-language psychological thriller centres on Roslin (Sanjana Dipu), a teenager plagued by recurring nightmares of a green-eyed stalker. When Jerry (Hakkim Shah), a man who looks exactly like her dream intruder, appears at her home, the boundary between imagination and reality fractures.
Moody, atmospheric and deeply unsettling, Secret Stories: Roslin is designed for late-night viewing- the kind that lingers long after the screen goes dark.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters – Season 2 (Apple TV+)
Titans return, secrets deepen
Two years after Season 1, the Randa family reunites at Apex Cybernetics’ Skull Island research station-only to confront Titan X, a bioluminescent force rising from the depths. With Godzilla and Kong looming large and tensions escalating between Monarch and Apex, the scale expands dramatically.
Visually grand and high on spectacle, this is a popcorn-ready watch that demands the biggest screen in the house.
Accused (Netflix)
When reputation becomes the battleground
In this psychologically layered drama, Dr. Geetika (Konkona Sen Sharma), a respected London-based gynaecologist, faces a career-shattering allegation of sexual misconduct. As public scrutiny intensifies, her marriage to Dr. Meera (Pratibha Ranta) strains under pressure, and their adoption plans falter.
Measured and emotionally complex, Accused examines power, perception and the fragility of public trust — making it one of the most thought-provoking releases of the week.
Thadayam (ZEE5)
A ritualistic trail of fear
This Tamil crime thriller follows Sub-Inspector Adhiyaman (Samuthirakani) as he investigates a string of brutal murders along the Tamil Nadu–Andhra Pradesh border. As patterns emerge, the crimes reveal chilling ritualistic undertones.
Gritty and performance-driven, Thadayam delivers procedural intensity with psychological weight- ideal for viewers who prefer their holiday viewing dark and immersive.
New Stories Arriving During Holi Week
Bridgerton – Season 4, Part 2 (Netflix)
Love tested by class and consequence
Picking up from Benedict Bridgerton’s provocative proposal to Sophie, the new episodes explore longing, social boundaries and emotional reckoning. Anthony and Kate return from India, adding both guidance and gravitas to the unfolding drama.
Released on February 26, 2026, just ahead of Holi, this instalment promises opulent visuals and romantic tension in signature Bridgerton style.
The Bluff (Prime Video)
Peace is fragile
Priyanka Chopra Jonas stars as Ercell “Bloody Mary” Bodden, a woman who has rebuilt her life on a quiet Caribbean island after leaving behind violence. When a former adversary resurfaces, her past collides violently with her present.
Stylish and emotionally charged, The Bluff blends action with character-driven storytelling -a compelling film pick for a relaxed festive evening.
Young Sherlock (Prime Video)
The making of a legend
Premiering March 4, 2026, this origin story reimagines Sherlock Holmes at the dawn of his investigative career. Starring Hero Fiennes Tiffin as a brilliant but untested young detective, the series traces his first major case- one that spirals into a global conspiracy tied to James Moriarty.
Adding intrigue is Joseph Fiennes as Silas Holmes, Sherlock’s father -a casting choice that lends emotional resonance to the cerebral mystery. Stylish, modern and character-focused, Young Sherlock is a sharp pick for those who enjoy darker origin narratives.
Whether your Holi mood leans toward adrenaline, introspection, romance or spectacle, this week’s OTT offerings ensure there is something for every shade of your holiday. So once the colours settle and the festivities wind down, dim the lights, gather the snacks and let the stories take over.
